Agreed (though circle is pretty common, but,) has anyone ever seen any trace of a mandelbrot-shaped feature anywhere in nature? (I mean the whole set, not just seahorses/etc) I'm on the hunt!

If you aren't looking for Mandelbrot specifically, Romanesco broccoli is the most fractal-y plant I know.

The actual Mandelbrot is a very specific and complex mathematical pattern; I'd be very surprised to see it. But fractals in general are everywhere.

ferns, palms, and sunflowers are good places to start
